Champions League: Red Star celebrates qualification over war tank and could face sanctions [PHOTOS]

Feet were shot. The Red Star of Serbia became a trend and a video of the celebrations went viral on Facebook, after their qualification to the group stage of the Champions League 2019-20, where players are seen parading through the streets of Belgrade riding on a military tank used in the war against Croatia and this provocation could be sanctioned by FIFA.

The Red Star surprised before the match against Young Boys from Switzerland by showcasing a T-55 tank that would have been used in the war against Croatia. The fans could not stop photographing themselves in the military vehicle that was customized with the club's colors.

But that was not all. After the qualification, the players entered the locker room and wore military-style helmets and celebrated there. Then, they went out to the streets on an armored military tank. Carrying flares, the same camouflage helmets, and the club's shirt, they celebrated the passage to the main stage of the Champions League.

This has been considered by some countries in Europe, especially Croatia, as an incitement to violence, something that FIFA and UEFA prohibit for their teams, so the affected parties would be requesting sanctions against the club where Peruvian Miguel Araujo once played.

The Red Star will find out on Thursday, in the draw for the group stage of the Champions League 2019-20, who their opponents will be. But the celebration on a tank will go down in history. Pure essence of the Balkans.
